Understanding Common Problems

We understand that potential issues can arise with any large purchase. Here are some common problems and how we can help you resolve them:

• Condensation-related problems on my glass veranda: Probably the most common problem that people come across with their verandas relates to condensation build-up. Left unchecked, condensation can cause mold and wet seating areas. A window vacuum is an excellent tool to clear up condensation and keep the glass of your veranda clean. It is also important to make sure open sides of your veranda are left unobstructed so air can flow more easily.

• Sun damage on garden furniture and other items: Due to the properties of glass, items underneath it such as your garden furniture may be susceptible to sun and UV damage, similar to if it was left uncovered in the garden. Keeping your furniture covered when not in use is an easy way to prevent this. Alternatively, applying a UV-blocking film to the glass will reduce the effects of long-term sun exposure for your furniture, as well as protect you better.

• The guttering and drainage is overflowing: It is important to drainage and guttering is left unobstructed in order for water to drain freely. Regularly inspect the guttering for any debris or blockages and ensure that the drainage exit is left clear to avoid flooding.

• Rust forming on the veranda's frame: The powder coating on the aluminium is most likely to wear away as the bottom/base of the veranda. Regular maintenance and touch-up of the powder coating can help prevent this issue, ensuring the longevity and aesthetic appeal of the veranda.

Addressing your Concerns

We understand that worries can brew up when purchasing elegant glass verandas. Let us address and alleviate those fears to help you make the best decision.

• Mold forming on furniture because of veranda condensation: As mentioned, this is a big worry for many veranda owners. If left, the condensation will drip onto your furniture, potentially resulting in mold/rot forming. A furniture cover on top of cleaning the condensation will reduce this risk significantly.

• What if the glass shatters? You can rest assured knowing that the glass on your veranda will not shatter due to it being laminated glass. Much like the windscreen of your car, even if a piece of glass cracks, the plastic center will prevent it shattering completely.

• Scratches forming on the veranda over time: Regular cleaning as well as trimming back any trees or plants growing near veranda will help prevent your outdoor living space developing scratches over time.

• What if it obscures the view/neighbours complain? A common concern, in spite of permission to build, is building bad relations with neighbours with structures in your garden. It is important to familiarise yourself with "Right to Light" laws in the UK for a better understanding on your rights as well as neighbours.

Achieving your Goals

We believe in helping you achieve your goals with our glass roof verandas. Here are some common goals our customers aim for and how our cabins can help you reach them.

• Outdoor dining/seating area without compromise: Perhaps you already have a luscious and complete outdoor living space and don't want to strip it back to make room for a garden building. With a glass veranda or glass canopy, you can utilise your garden entrance without compromising on space.

• Convenient garden area without foundation: As mentioned, you can build your veranda straight onto the back of your house without the need for foundation. A great choice if you're looking for a garden project without any extra steps.

• Enjoying your garden whatever the weather: Having an open shelter area at the comfort of your back door allows you to enjoy your garden more often during the course of the year.

• Low maintenance and long lasting: You can rest assured knowing that you're investing in a garden structure that requires minimal maintenance. This is especially helpful for those who are less able-bodied or older.

• Versatile and adaptable over time: You don't have to settle on the base design features of your veranda permanently. If you have new ideas, you can adapt and add to your veranda space more, like include glass panel sides and other features.

Debunking Myths and Misunderstandings

There are a lot of misconceptions associated with owning a garden veranda. Let us clear up some common misunderstandings to help you make an informed decision.

• A garden veranda compromises the view: It's a common misunderstanding that a garden veranda will block the view of your garden. However, not only do the glass panels make these veranda roofs see-through, but the pent slope at the top is a fairly flat roof design with plenty of head clearance. Whether you're standing up or sitting down, your view will not be obstructed.

• Glass is a potential fire hazard: On hot days, many believe that glass can be a medium for a fire hazard. This is only the case with magnifying or concave glass, which the panels for our verandas certainly are not.

• It'll be too humid under a veranda, like a greenhouse: Whilst your veranda will be a nice hotspot under the sun, it will not be like a greenhouse nor a furnace. Due to the large open space and free-flowing air the humidity will not linger. Shading options are also available for you to block out the sun if your veranda space does get too warm.

• Birds will perch and nest on top of my veranda, making a mess: The elevated space on top of the veranda may attract animals, there isn't any sufficient nook or cosy space for birds to nest on unlike house or conservatory roofs.

• Why not just buy a conservatory? Whilst both structures are an open glass space attached to the back of your house, they are not even comparable. Not to mention, conservatories require a lot more steps, permissions, time and cost significantly more than a veranda will.
